American Idol Top 7 & Elimination.

So. I hate to be a party pooper this week but I am so dang tired I just don't have the energy for a full post like I did last week. So I'm just going to give you a quick rundown of both shows and let that be that. Don't like it? Tough cookies!

Performance Show

Hollie Cavanagh:
Song 1 - I had goosebumps with the first notes. She seriously did an amazing job! 
Song 2 - Not really a fan. Just didn't hit me like the first one did.

Colton Dixon:
Song 1 - HATED. IT! Sorry Colton, this just was NOT a good choice in song. 
Song 2 - AMAZEBALLS! I seriously loved it! 

Elise Testone:
Loved it! Both songs. She seriously is amazing to me! Her voice is so unique and I really just wish America would get on board and vote the right way! I did not however, like the orange dress she wore during the first song. The sheer orange billowy material just kinda made her look a little fatty fat fat. I'm. Just. Sayin'.

Skylar Laine:
I really enjoyed both of her songs. I wasn't a fan of the country Gaga version when it came out, but Skylar really did it justice! 

Josh Ledet:
Ya know, I think I have just had enough of Josh. I really am just not a fan. He didn't do a bad job, I just don't really enjoy him.

Jessica Sanchez:
While I agree with America Jessica is a great singer, I just don't think she has "it". I don't believe she will win, but she did a great job on both songs.

Phillip Phillips:
Philly Phil can really do no wrong for me. Anyone out there who thinks so deserves a salmon slap! 

Results Show

*Mr. Soul Patrol, Taylor Hicks, was in the crowd. Irrelevant. *eye roll*

*Kris Allen performed, and I adore him! I like... no LOVE his new song to!! New album here I come!

* LMFAO sang. meh... I like the song, performance was mildly entertaining, but it really did nothing for me.

*Bottom 3 was Hollie Cavanagh (umm why?), Elise Testone (seriously America?) & Colton Dixon (not surprised) and Colton went home. He didn't deserve to go home, in my opinion, but what can ya do. He had an off week and he was man enough to admit that he picked bad songs. He wasn't himself and that cost him a shot at winning.

American Idol. Top 7.

If you are a fan of AI, THIS IS THE YEAR TO GO TO THE LIVE SHOW! They are seriously amazing this year. With the exception of Deandre. Blech I just want to shave his head while he's sleeping... Ready for a re-cap?

Skylar Laine: Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You (By American Idol Alumni Kellie Picker) 
I. Love. Skylar. She just has that growl in her voice and she is a little country princess if I've ever seen one! I don't personally think she is going to win, but she's got amazing talent and will go far!

Colton Dixon: Love The Way You Lie (By Skylar Gray)
I will admit, I don't remember Colton from last year, shame on me, and when I first heard him this year(ByI really was not a fan. BUT He has seriously impressed since then. His song this week was AMAZEBALLS! Like you would not believe!

Phillip Phillips & Elise Testone: Duet - Somebody That I Used To Know (By Gotye ft. Kimbra)
I have listened to this about 10 times on my recording. The only reason I have moved past this is because my sister Kayla is in here watching it with me. I'm not one to run out and buy songs on iTunes, but I just bought this one. No. Joke. I love these 2 togther more than I love Mac & Cheese and that's a lot!

Update: Actually it was a joke because iTunes doesn't have that song on there!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!!?!?!

Jessica Sanchez: Stuttering (By Jazmine Sullivan) 
J-dawg has some serious pipes, I will give her that. BUT I really did not care for this weeks song. She sang the shiz out of it, but the song in general kinda sucked. She should have picked a better one.

It's about here in the show where I spoiled the results for myself by going on Wikipedia. Nice job Jess... Stellar!

Josh Ledet: Runaway Baby (By Bruno Mars)
I don't know why... but I really am a Bruno Mars hater... It pains me to say that, and I think that is why I really didn't like Josh this week. #SorryImNotSorry

Colton Dixon & Skylar Laine: Duet - Don't You Wanna Stay (By Jason Aldean & Kelly Clarkson)
I like the song, I loved these 2 together last week but I did not love the harmonies this week. They did great in their individual parts, together it was just so so for me.

Hollie Cavanagh: Perfect (By Pink)
The accent is just so cute! And I loved her outfit too! This song was... well... PERFECT for her! She just has that strong low-ish voice that pink does.  Great fit, love Hollie!

Phillip Phillips: Give A Little More (By Maroon 5)
Can I just say that when fill sings, he looks constipated. Like for reals. Regardless, I love him always. He is my favey, my pick to win. I have yet to be disappointed in a song he's sang. This week was no exception. Love.

Hollie Cavanagh, Josh Ledet & Jessica Sanchez: Trio - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)  (By Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson)
I will premise this with, neither of these 3 are really high on my favorites list. But the KILLED THIS SONG! Are you serious???? Ah-Maze-Balls to the max. 

Elise Testone: You & I (By Lady Gaga)
Dare I say, she sang this better than Gaga??? In my opinion yes, and my opion is all that matters here! haha I love Elise, she's the whip! She just needs to keep picking great songs and singing the crap out of them like she has been! She may not win it all, but she will go far!

Results show: Really didn't care for the opening number. They sang Raise Your Glass by Pink... Meh. They handed out some fan mail, that was cute. James Durbin performed... Hated it. Not sure what kind of mic he was using, but it was stupid. Jennifer Hudson & 
Ne-Yo performed... Love this song. I normally fast forward through the performances because they suck! But I watched this one. I want to rip that hat of Ne-yo's head, for reals you look like an idiot. Just. Sayin.

Bottom 3 surprisingly was Josh, Elise & Jessica. The looked on Jennifer's face when Jessica was voted out was seriously priceless. She was about to shank someone.The judges used their save to keep her around for one more week. They felt so strongly about it they ran up on stage, mid save me song, and took the mic out of her hands and said "go sit down, you aren't going anywhere"
